Thanks so much. I’m glad to hear you found the article helpful. You’re probably best off going to a local camera store (I like Henry’s, but any city should have something like that) so you can speak with someone and have them help match your price range and needs with the perfect item. Personally, I love using the Nikon D5100 (DSLR) but a point-and-shoot around $150-$200 would also work for someone looking to not spend much but get something with a high megapixel amount.

You’ll need to ask permission from the photographer to use them, but usually it is fine. Remember to credit the photographer for the work. 🙂 If ever you want to use one of those particular photographs for advertisement purposes, you’ll need to sit down with the photographer and agree on that before you’re able to use it.

Thanks!
Katelyn

Tue, 21 May 2013 19:58:51 +0000/?p=3379#comment-747I love what you are doing with the newsletter and school. So proud to be a student.

I loved this article as I have been working with various ways to capture my pictures. The makeup looks good but can fall flat if you don’t have the right camera. Mine is Digital but doesn’t have enough pixels apparently from this article.

I know this is techi stuff but does the school have any suggestions on a cost effective digital camera for taking pictures?

Thank you!

Tue, 21 May 2013 18:59:31 +0000/?p=3379#comment-746Hi Lucy! You’re right – evening can be great. However, the darker the shot the more pixel data (aka quality) you lose. The best time to shoot is around sunset, so if you’re looking for a more night time-looking shot I’d recommend shooting right after. You’ll likely have to play around with the settings on a DSLR to let as much natural light in as possible. Otherwise, you could always invest in some professional lighting equipment, preferably a kit with multiple settings allowing you to get a darker effect. Hope that helps!

Tue, 21 May 2013 15:24:08 +0000/?p=3379#comment-744I love your ideas about taking photos by the window to get the best possible results. However, what about evening shots? I like the candle lit shots and the romanticism of the evenings. What can you recommend. Some makeup looks awesome in the night when the lights are not glaring. What suggestions would you have?
